San Francisco's typically crisp and glacial weather will be intruded upon this weekend by vile, stinky, hot weather. (Take cover, fellow gingers!) How can you avoid the sun's violent wrath? Let's see:

• Drink water, lots of it.
• Pool. Find one.
• Take the horror out of going to the DMV by making an appointment on Monday or Tuesday, when temperatures might hit more than 100 degrees. The DMV is air-conditioned. Even the employees are cheery.
• Movie theaters are climate-controlled, as are many restaurants.
• Go west. The farther away from the East Bay and inland, the better.
• Atone. Clearly, the gods are punishing us.

If you have any hot (heh) tips for staying cool, let us know in the comments.
